The alarm bells for any further development in this area are air-raid loud or should be.
Water!
It is essential to human life but its source is not infinite.
Those of us who have long memories for this valley especially coming from agricultural origins can see what global warming is doing here.
As children, back prior to the middle of the last century, there were the occasional snow days which meant a really exceptional snowfall.
Even a short term memory for this past winter remembers how little snow was shovelled and hence how low a snowpack while the usage has exploded.
The need for housing is unquestionable but the greed of developers and city hall people who will be long gone when the taps run dry is not that far away.
This is neither NIMBY or Chicken Little crying, "The sky is falling."
A greater tax base will be nothing if the water is not there.
